About halfway through the summer, some Southgate residents are reporting a relatively quieter summer in their neighborhood, although calls for service and police reports filed from the area have ticked up slightly from last summer.

But there still are some concerns about the ongoing juvenile problems and property damage in the neighborhood, especially after 17 vehicles' tires were found punctured overnight last week and where multiple reports were filed involving an unattended child threatening other children with a knife.
